My first digital display (Binary Counter + 2-digit decimal display)

Hi.

This is a tiny build that I made, and it happened to be incredibly challenging since I'm a beginner, but I finally have it done.

I would really appreciate if someone could provide critic or advice on next steps.

Build Overview

  • Piston-based binary counter with 4-bits
  • 16-16 mapping of AND gates to decode 4 bits into 16 lines
  • OR matrix to calculate the on/off state of each segment
  • Finally, push everything together without any organization and mess it up to a point where I can't even figure out the wiring myself

Is there a way to get this output?

Hi everyone.

I made a mistake and left no place to take output of this redstone torch. I want to take its output vertically so I can route it somehow. Can someone please suggest how can I do that?

What I tried

  • Make redstone torch tower: When I place block above highlighted torch, the torch connects with the circuit and turns itself off
  • Place piston with redstone block facing upwards: Fails due to Quasi Connectivity

Is there a way other than tearing the entire left circuit and moving it?

Edit:

Got it working with piston > slime > restone block into another piston > slime > redstone block, then wired it into another piston > slime > redstone block and then my circuit.

This provides that I'm an idiot, but at least a knowledgeable idiot

I made a Binary Counter with Redstone

Hi,

Here's a tiny contraption that I made. It's very simple, but I made it without tutorials, and it took a lot of effort since I'm a beginner.

Build

  • This is basically a 4-bit binary counter, press the button and it goes from 0000 -> 0001 -> 0010 and all the way until it wraps back to 0000
  • In the 1st image, you can see multiple T-flip flops. Each represents a single bit
  • You might also note some pistons. I used those to combine the output of each bit into an AND(NOT(previous bit), input to previous bit) to build the ripple counter
  • In the 2nd image, you will note 4 lamps (representing output from left to right) and a button (to the right). Pressing the button increments the counter

I would really appreciate your feedback or guidance on next steps 😊
